Same experience here guys. I have to recharge at least twice a day to go trough till the end.
I am honestly disappointed and this is not a normal situation for me.
Already consider of getting android device.

upgraded my wife (4s) to 6.0.1 and haven't heard her complain. Her phone dies in a day though cause she leaves bluetooth on. I've tested and re-tested this and when it's off she gets great battery life. When it's on, horrible. Oh well, that's her deal.

So, I've calibrated the battery yesterday and I got the following results today.

Usage: 3h:32m
Standby: 14h:33m

I still have 23% left and I've always used the phone at maximum brightness. I didn't do anything heavy in terms of usage, just a few calls and some e-mailing/facebooking/browsing, but for periods of 10 mins maximum.

What do you more savvy people make of these values? Are they average or should I try to do a system restore and see what happens? In case these aren't right, which values should I be looking at?
The phone is still under warranty, so I can always go to my local Apple Store and have it checked. It's just that it's Xmas time and both the Regent St and Covent Garden ones will be totally packed and I don't want to go there and waste time.

I upgraded my moms iPad 2 to iOS 6.0.1 and her battery life is TERRIBLE now. She used to charge it maybe once every week or two. Now she has to charge it every 2-3 days!! I am seriously getting sick of Apple and losing faith in them. Why are some devices fine but others having issues with battery life? This shouldn't be happening. My mom is so upset she ever upgraded and I have no solutions for her except "I'm sorry".

Seems like every time Apple gives us an update of some kind we have to worry now about it breaking something.

It's very odd, isn't it? My iPad 4 battery life actually went up with the 6.01 upgrade. Anyway, I've done another complete discharge/charge today alongside with a system restore. If it doesn't work, I'm taking it to a genius bar.
